Can, thanks for sharing! Pours near black with a grayish brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of vanilla with some sweet dark grains supporting. Flavor has sweet dark grains and vanilla with a bit of chocolate and roast backing.

Black beer. Vanilla in the aroma and flavor. Roasted malt. Cinnamon and some spice. I taste nuts but not sure there are any.

Pint can from Wine Cellar Depere, 10/3/22. Black, large tan head, above average retention. Aroma of roasted malt, vanilla, booze, banana, nuts, hints of honey. Taste is roast, cherry, vanilla, chocolate, honey, mild booze. Full bodied, lingering bitterness, booze a bit too present. A bit off-kilter but otherwise a nice beer.

Pint can thanks to Drake! Pours black and a little thick with a brown head. Wood, roast, cocoa, light vanilla nose. Flavor was chocolate, vanilla, wood, dark fruit, light salt. A little boozy.

nPint can pours with nice deep dark colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bucket full of vanilla beans as well as thinner notes of dark roasted malts, some dark fruity esters and dark roasted coffee. The taste is similar as it delivers a tasty thicket of fresh vanilla bean goodness that's balanced by malt sweetened dark roasted to nearly burnt maltiness. To midway the vanilla enhanced flavor picks up a low murmur of sweet dark fruity esters like plums and figs. This is nice as the flavors are pretty well integrated and they create a pleasing balance and depth. Nice sipper indeed. The oak that's here is really well hidden. If I didn't look at the description I wouldn't know oak was involved.

The Aromas are circus peanuts, dark malt and a hint of a vanilla. I think the most common features of an uninspired pastry Stout are dark malt, overly sweet and vanilla. Bingo.
